Zhong Kui's Diary
"I certainly know that; otherwise, I would have beaten you to death long ago." I forced a bitter smile, but deep down, I was skeptical. Bad people? Is there a clear boundary for bad people? Anyone can find reasons for their actions, and bad people are no exception; they always feel justified before doing something wrong.
"Ghost Brother, I know you have a wide network in Star City. I hope you can help me out?" A-Jian scratched his head and spoke hesitantly.
"Uh?"
"I have some chat records involving Ren Feiyu and Zhu Qi. Let me give them to you first." A-Jian pulled out a rather exquisite USB drive from his pocket.
"Chat records of Ren Feiyu and Zhu Qi? Why are you giving them to me?" I frowned.
"Because I suspect that what Boss Sha is going through is related to them."
"So what? What does that have to do with me?" I couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time.
"It matters. As long as I provide a reason, you'll definitely help me. Do you know why we copied Ye Litong's ID?" A-Jian's expression darkened. "Because Ye Litong is Boss Sha's daughter..."
"I already knew about this; you don't need to repeat it. I really don't want to hear it again." I had never been able to come to terms with the situation regarding Litong.
"Since you know, Ghost Brother, I'll be straightforward. We suspect that everything happening in Boss Sha's family is the work of Ren Zhiming and Zhu Liancheng." A-Jian's face twisted slightly.
I was taken aback by his words. Damn, that's actually quite possible. It's not surprising that Ren Zhiming and Zhu Liancheng would resort to ruthless means to throw Sha Zhiyuan into chaos. Besides, only those two families could casually come up with 4 million to bribe a police station chief, who would have no choice but to comply; otherwise, not only would he lose the money, but he could also risk losing his position or even his life.
The words of Ai flashed through my mind: "She wants to tell others that I'm a good child; I'm very obedient..." My heart ached as I took the USB drive from A-Jian and casually placed it in my shirt pocket. I nodded and said, "I'll do my best."
As I reached the door of the finance office, I almost tripped again. This time, I was walking a bit too quickly and stumbled several steps before steadying myself. The colleagues in the finance department stifled their laughter. I cleared my throat, took the resignation form to Tian Yong for his signature, and casually called him out for a reason.
"Just now, A-Jian's call was for me," Tian Yong said without holding back. "I assume A-Jian has already explained everything to you. Since you are Boss Tang's person, I have nothing to say. Do as you please."
I didn't expect Tian Yong to have such backbone. I smiled slightly and asked, "Since you are the planner of this whole affair, let me ask you: is Boss Sha worth all this effort?"
Tian Yong seemed to think my question was unnecessary. He stared at me for several seconds before answering, "A Soldier Dies for a True Friend; there's no need to elaborate on that."
"Alright then, I'll go suggest to Tang Zian that he help manage the company for Sha Zhiyuan for now. Once Sha Zhiyuan gets through this tough time and stabilizes, we can sell the company back to him," I said with a smile.
"You aren't joking with me, are you?" Tian Yong's breathing became rapid.
"I'm just making a suggestion; whether he listens or not is another matter. As for the ghost issue in the company, I'll find some excuse," I grinned. "You guys shouldn't play tricks anymore; let's just leave it at that."
Tian Yong was speechless for a moment before he firmly patted my shoulder, his eyes slightly reddening. "No matter what happens, I will give you an explanation."
After bidding farewell to Tian Yong, I returned to the Marketing Department and leaned over Xiao Lin's desk, whispering, "What about that hit on my head?"
Xiao Lin seemed to have already received news from A-Jian and showed no signs of panic; instead, she shot me a glare. "Why don't you hit me back?"
Hmph, hit you back? I might as well poke you instead.
After signing and completing the process, Assistant Tian Qingrong told me to wait for Tang Zong to come over and sign. I left Rui and returned home, calling Fatty and Kong Xuan over to discuss the matter with them. Both of them frowned; Kong Xuan seemed okay, but Ren Zhiming and Zhu Liancheng were highly suspicious. The most important thing now was to find evidence; mere speculation wouldn't lead to a conviction. Fatty suggested that instead of looking for evidence, we should just capture both of them and give them a good beating to see if they confess.
When I arrived, I was surprised to find that Fatty had lost weight from 175 kilograms down to 75 kilograms. He was very interested, especially after hearing about A-Jian's weight loss journey. A look of envy appeared on Fatty's face as he clicked his tongue in admiration.
"Do you want to lose weight like Zheng Shaoyan?" Kong Xuan joked.
"You have no idea! I'm thinking about what it would feel like to be with a woman who weighs 100 kilograms in the dominant position," Fatty said with a blissful expression.
"…"
After sharing a few laughs, I wanted to pull out the USB drive A-Jian had given me to check those so-called chat records, but when I reached into my pocket, I found it empty; the USB drive had mysteriously disappeared.
Where did the USB drive go?
Could it be that I carelessly stuffed it into the Mustard Seed Pendant around my neck? That’s impossible; why would I openly display my Spatial Bag while having A-Jian's USB drive? Well, even if I did put it in the Mustard Seed Pendant, it's not there now either.
Could it have been stolen from my car? That seems even less likely. Who would go out of their way to steal a USB drive from me? Besides, I'm someone with martial arts training; how could I not notice someone reaching into my chest pocket?
Seeing my bewildered expression, Kong Xuan asked what was wrong. I sighed and said, "The USB drive A-Jian gave me is missing."
"What was on the USB drive?" Kong Xuan asked with a frown.
"It contains chat records of several new employees from Rui Company."
"Could it be that those people know A-Jian gave you the USB drive and then sent someone to steal it?" Fatty pointed out a possibility.
"It shouldn't be!" Kong Xuan said, "This chat record can be retrieved from A-Jian at any time. Besides, Zheng Nan is a Martial Arts Master. Stealing something from Zheng Nan isn't an easy task. They wouldn't risk being discovered to do something meaningless."
"Ghost Brother is a Martial Arts Master, and only we know about it. Really, with millions of people in Star City, how many could possibly know that Ghost Brother is a master? Did those thieves know?" Fatty retorted dismissively.
"Enough arguing, I know where it is!" I suddenly remembered that when I was at the entrance of the finance office, I almost tripped. That USB drive must have been thrown out at that moment: "It might have fallen in the finance office."
"What should we do? Should we ask A-Jian to send you another copy?" Kong Xuan asked.
"It seems that's the only option." I sighed bitterly, "I don't have A-Jian's QQ, so I need to ask someone."
I opened my computer and logged into QQ. Before I could decide who to ask, a message notification popped up. It was from Zhu Qi.
"Zheng Nan, I'm really envious of you; your life is so exciting."
Regarding Zhu Qi, although I knew she was Zhu Liancheng's daughter, I had a good impression of her. At least her personality was quite straightforward; she didn't have the arrogance typical of a Rich and Beautiful Girl.
I quickly replied, "Seven, I'm envious of you too."
"What do you envy me for?" Zhu Qi sent an angry emoji: "Is it because my dad is Zhu Liancheng or something like that?"
"There's nothing to envy about that; I envy your genuine carefree spirit."
"Really? I like what you say. I gave you a few photos earlier and I will send them to you later. They are all of me without clothes." "Hoho, check it out for me. Check Computer Department Director Xie Weijian’s qq Number, I’ll ask him something.” I quickly changed the subject. "Don't change the subject. If you don't look at my photos, I won't check them for you!" "Okay, okay, let me see, let me see!" "I have sent it to your email. You can click on it and take a screenshot. Let me see, it proves that you have seen it." Although I can't see Zhu Qi, I can imagine that she must have a sly smile at this moment. "Forget it, I'll ask Chen Shan..." Before I finished typing, Fatty stopped me with righteous words: "Ghost Brother, if you don't share this kind of benefit with your brothers, , I will be very angry and may be on the road to autism from now on." I laughed, deleted that sentence, opened the mailbox, and sure enough I saw Zhu Qi sent me an email and downloaded the photo. When we clicked it and took a look, the three of us were instantly stunned. The photo is a nude photo of Zhu Qi. Of course, this is an artistic photo. There are feathers, silk and other things covering the most critical parts. The rest of the skin is better than snow, which is quite dazzling. This is not the reason to surprise us. What surprises us is that there is a scar on the left side of Zhu Qi's chest. There is such a dark red scar on the white jade skin, it is difficult not to see it. This scar is Pentagram Scar!
After Yeh Rong gave me this Pentagram Scar, I shared this clue with Lingfeng Kongxuan and others, so they all know the significance of this scar.
Could it be that Zhu Qi is the mysterious mastermind behind it all?
I quickly dismissed my own thoughts. Yeh Rong was a man, and he was about 1.8 meters tall; based on these two points, Zhu Qi did not fit the description at all.
However, if she also has this Pentagram Scar on her chest, there must be some connection between her and that mysterious person.
Thinking of this, I took a screenshot and sent it to Zhu Qi: "Qi, this scar of yours is quite strange, isn't it?"
"What's strange about it? I saw it on someone else and drew it to have my master tattoo one for me. Looks good, right?"
"Looks good, looks good! Qi, can you tell me whose body you saw this kind of scar on?"
"Want to know?" Zhu Qi sent a shy emoji.
"Yes, I want to know."
